If those shifts appear to be due to inappropriate or illegal marketing practices, CMS and DMAS may issue corrective action. Any illegal marketing practices will be referred to appropriate agencies for investigation. As mutually agreed upon, and as discussed further in Appendix 7 and the three-way contract, CMS and DMAS will utilize an independent third party entity to facilitate all enrollments into the Participating Plans. Participating Plan enrollments, transfers, and opt-outs shall become effective on the same day for both Medicare and Medicaid (the first day of the following month).
